Description
Long drooping ears and brown patches identify the spaniel-type form of this seated Drostdy Ware dog.
Seated spaniel-type dog form, cream glaze, brown patches, long drooping ears The underside bears a Drostdy Ware mark, identifying manufacture by Grahamstown Potteries in Grahamstown, South Africa. The primary photograph shows a seated dog with long ears, a rounded muzzle and scattered brown patches across the cream body. Its shape is spaniel-like, although a specific breed is not established. The supplied base description records a Drostdy Ware mark, and the rewrite replaces the earlier generic animal wording with the visible dog form. For comparison, the Joy China 4082 Glazed Terrier Dog Figurine provides a related example in the store. The Journal’s South African Pottery Makers: A Collector's Guide to Local Ceramics gives further collector context.
